We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi

 

Check why it is not conv.,

  • by add. substeps:

  • and/or run a modal analysis (any rigid body modes will indicate the issue).

 

Also:

One thing to do to resolve this is :

 

 

  • remove force
  • add displacement at force location and push it down in y say by 0.0005 m (Z=X= 0 m).
  • Look at the reaction at this displacement to get the force.

 

 

In this way the model should solve I hope and we can see how it behaves

All the best

Erik
